There seem to be a number of factors that are beneficial for sleep paralysis to happen. One is beeing over-tired. Another is messed up Melantonin levels. Both can be related. I don't know what your situation is, but getting regular sleep has helped me a lot. Also, when I experience sleep paralysis (and I usually can tell when it's about to happen by the way I feel right before falling alsleep), I turn on the lights (dimming them though) and for some reason that prevents the sleep paralysis from setting in and I can get a decent sleep.

I start doing a loud snoring sound when I realize that I am in sleep paralysis. That usually works for me to wake up. I have never ejoyed the experience at all, even when experiencing it for a prolonged time. I've always felt in a sort of twilight world and not beeing able to defend myself. What has worked for me however and I used to enjoy a lot is going to bed with a conscious decision to not waste energy on random and chaotic dreams. Sleep became very refreshing and instead of having dreams, i seemed to be counscious yet deeply asleep. Kind of beeing at a different place in which I actually could be productive while thoughts cease and giving my physical mid and body rest. Something that normal sleep does often not provide me sufficiantly.

That is actually the most common use for water treatment plant sludge already.

This was the case with a family member. She had high blood pressure that would constantly pass 200 and any meds she took showed almost no effect at all, barley pushing it in the 180 range. Apperantly a spirit that got attached to her acted like a second heart of sorts and messed things up. She recieved a clearing and the effect was instantaneous, the blood pressure dropped to normal levels immediatly. I said not worry, because to have spirits/entities attached to oneself is not uncommon at all, although they don't always have such a profound physically noticeable effect.

Thank you, nicely done. Does anone know of any audio recording of the Tao Te Ching in chinese?

If the bloodpressure "jumps" meaing that it keeps moving from high to low and back, he could have problems with entities. Not to worry though.

Do you live in Fairfield?

Drew, very interesting post thank you. Do you have a link to the Robert Sapolsky interview you are referring to?

I am surprised that this thread is not more busy because I think Dao Zhen is offering an amazing oppertunity. In the meantime here is something to help getting everyone in the mood Jesse in action: 5mbvFdrAhAI

Have you tried just witnessing without paying attention to whatever happens, without focusing on your "junk of your mind"? See if it subsides by itself.

I have posted this information before in the Links section but since there is only 1 week left to apply I thought I would post this here for high visibility as I think this sounds like an interesting opportunity: "Candidate for YMAA California Retreat Center Dr. Yang is accepting and reviewing candidate applications until February 2008. The 10-year training program will commence in August 2008. Do you have what it will take to train Kung Fu every day for ten years? Since the first public announcement of this project was published in the Boston Globe in August 2005, interested individuals from around the world have contacted Dr. Yang to apply for this opportunity to study Kung Fu (gongfu), Tai Chi (taijiquan), meditation and more. The interview and application process for this program will be mentally and physically rigorous, so that ultimately, the 15 most exceptional candidates suited for this unprecedented training are carefully selected." www.ymaa.com/retreat-center www.ymaa-retreatcenter.org/curriculum P.S.: I am not affiliated at all with YMAA nor will i be applying. Just thought someone else might be interested.

How Believing Can Be Seeing: Context Dictates What We Believe We See

Hi, what exactly do you mean by no spice? Does that mean specifically no spices at all? Thank you

In my trials, even mentally stopping the ejac had adverse effects. In my opinion, at least when not sure one has this thing down the proper way, don't even get near the point of ejaculating. I don't think there are any shortcuts or quick, always working techniques. Just don't get excited down there in the first place.

No water? What are you supposed to drink instead? I can only think of tea as juice would fall under simple carbs.

How about Fragrant Qigong. Seems quite popular and has no visualizations. edit: Xiang Gong mentioned in the post below just happens to be another name for Fragrant Qigong.

Here is an interesting link on how to supposedly tell apart tinitus from kundalini sound. The relevant part is in the last paragraph.

I have not tried any of Ken Cohen's stuff myself but he seems to get respect here at taobums. So here is a link to a DVD at Amazon: Qi Healing Spring Forest also has some external healing techniques, but i forget if it was in part I, II or III.

edit: back to the drawing board for me.

Does the PDF from the first link work for anyone? I can't get it to open. The second one works fine, I am on a Mac.
